[C] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [D]taught [Bm7]to [B7]share
But [C]care, [Am9]in [D]another life, I surely [Bm7]was [B7]there
[C] [Am9]Me, I wasn't [D]taught [Ebdim]to share
But [Em7]care, I [Am6]care, I [Gbm7]care [Bm7] [B7]
Verse 1:
[C]Hell-raising, wheel-chasing, [Am9]new worldly possessions
[D]Flesh-making, spirit-breaking, [Bm7]which one would [B7]you lessen?
The [C]better part, the human heart, you [Am9]love ’em or dissect 'em
[D]Happiness or flashiness, how [Bm7]do you serve [B7]the question?
[C]See, in the perfect world, I would be [Am9]perfect, world
I don't [D]trust people enough beyond they [Ebdim]surface, world
I don't [Em7]love people enough to put my [Am6]faith in men
I put my [Gbm7]faith in these lyrics hoping I [Bm7]make amend, [B7]I understand
Verse 2:
I [C]ain't perfect, I probably won't [Am9]come around
This time I might [D]put you down, last time I ain't [Bm7]give a xxxx
I [B7]still feel [C]the same now, my feelings [Am9]might go numb
You're dealing with [D]cold thumb,
I’m willing to give [Bm7]up a leg [B]and arm and [C]show empathy from
Pity parties [Am9]and functions and you and [D]yours, a
perfect world, you probably [Ebdim]live another 24
[Em7] I can’t fake humble just [Am6]'cause your ass is insecure
[Gbm7] I can’t fake humble just [Bm7]'cause your ass [B7]is insecure
Chorus 2:

[Bm7]Maybe I [B7]wasn’ [C]t ther [Am9]e [D]
[Ebdim]Maybe I wasn’t [Em] [Am6] [Gbm7] [Bm7] [B7]
Verse 3:
Now [C]in a perfect world, I probably [Am9]won't be insensitive
[D]Cold as December but never [Bm7]remember [B7]what winter did
[C]I wouldn't blame you for mistakes [Am9]I made or the bed I laid
[D]Seems like I point the finger just to [Bm7]make a [B7]point nowadays
[C]Smiles and cold stares, the [Am9]temperature goes there
[D]Indigenous disposition, feel [Ebdim]like we belong here
I [Em7]know the walls, they can listen, I [Am6]wish they could talk back
The [Gbm7]hurt becomes repetition, the [Bm7]love [B7]almost lost that
Verse 4:
[C]Sick venom in men and [Am9]women overcome with pride
a [D]perfect world is never [Bm7]perfect, [B7]only filled with lies
[C]Promises are broken and [Am9]more resentment come alive
[D]Race barriers make [Bm7]inferior [B7]of you and I
See, [C]in a perfect world, I'll choose [Am9]faith over riches
I'll choose [D]work over xxxxxes, I'll make [Ebdim]schools out of prison
I'll take [Em7]all the religions and put 'em [Am6]all in one service
Just to [Gbm7]tell 'em we ain't xxxx, but [Bm7]He's [B7]been perfect, world
